Do you get frisson? More specifically, do some pieces of music make the hair on your neck stand up? I get that at exactly one minute and fifty-four seconds into You and Me, by Penny and the Quarters, on the word “you”. I encountered this little known piece while working on Part Three, and knew I had to work in a passing reference to it somehow.
Excerpt:
“At T-minus six minutes, their helmets were filled with softly strummed electric guitar chords. A chorus of voices sang “you and me” in harmony, while a plaintive female voice riffed wordlessly over them… The singer drew the word “you” out long and smoothly, voice shifting across several notes. Cas felt as if she were floating on that voice.”
